tellboy Posted August 21, 2023 Report Share Posted August 21, 2023 I see the King bashers are out again because of an Ipswich loss.Looking at the highlights it was obviously not just King's fault but probably 3 others as well tonight.The way Ipswich were built once one of the top 2 start dropping points they could be in trouble of losing any meeting,unless you are riding against us of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LagutaRacingFan Posted August 21, 2023 Report Share Posted August 21, 2023 Ipswich have wasted a season of Emil. Not sure you will see him again in Britain. Blind loyalty to King and Rew has come back to bite them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2ndbendbeerhut Posted August 21, 2023 Report Share Posted August 21, 2023 (edited) Riss at 2 is crazy.... needs to be at 4 to help King score heat points. Emil on his own (partnered with Rew ) Then helps in 14... Riders lost / threw away points tonight, kept 1 of those positions and win was the Witches ... Oh well..... always next year. 2023 aves tells the story Hume 3.88 Thompson 3.71 Rew 3.70 Riss 3.73 Edited August 21, 2023 by 2ndbendbeerhut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely, clear as a bell when Rew went down. Like somebody said it happens everywhere but always seems much louder at Monmore, perhaps it's because they are particularly vociferous or because everyone stands on one straight. Don't like it though, even slide offs can cause injuries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst I don’t ever condone it - it did mean the Wolves were going to win the meeting and it was fairly clear he wasn’t going to be injured - I agree tho I don’t like it either!

Watched him for too many years promising so much and listening to his hype but failing to deliver and as to why Louis has stuck with him is anyone’s guess but for the Witches to succeed in 2024 they really need to clear out the deadwood and think back to the type of team which has brought success and glory to the to the county town and Suffolk and r3build accordingly assuming that the sport can sort itself out before any tapes up in March/April 2024.

Don't like it though, even slide offs can cause injuries. As someone who was there, not many cheered (none would have been preferable) and I think you’re right in terms of everyone being relatively close together seemingly lifting the noise level. And I do think fans of all clubs appreciate the difference between an innocuous slide (and I do take your point on injuries here) and a big ‘off’. Wolves again extremely fortunate to scramble a home win. So much has gone their way in recent tight Monmore fixtures, I’m genuinely astonished that the rain which descended immediately after heat 15 didn’t arrive five minutes earlier and hand them the aggregate bonus point too! Safe journey home to the Ipswich fans who made the long drive. Watching Doyle and Sayfutdinov is a genuine pleasure, but I was happiest to see Riss looking more his old self.

Popular Post bringbackHalifax Posted August 21, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 21, 2023 The world has gone mad. Fans are not cheering at the fallen rider, they are cheering for the gain for their team as a result of the incident, like when a top opposition rider goes through the tapes. It’s happened at all tracks and has been happening for the 52 years I have been going to speedway. It does not mean anyone wants to see a rider hurt though. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
